Pregunta 7
Pregunta
What is recombinant DNA?
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
'Restriction enzymes restrict the DNA from transcribing mRNA'.
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
Why is DNA heated in automated sequencing?
Respuesta
-
To break the hydrogen bonds (by denaturing them) which gives two polynucleotide chains.
-
To create a number of bases that can be amplified by PCR.
-
To separate the fragments for electrophoresis.
Pregunta 10
Pregunta

Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Why is buffer solution required in electrophoresis?
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
'The longer the fragments, the quicker they move' in electrophoresis.
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
Primers bind at the complementary regions of DNA and probes bind at the start of DNA.
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
Annealing is binding of base sequences.
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
What are sticky ends?
Respuesta
-
They are short, unpaired, exposed bases.
-
They are bases that are attached to restriction enzymes.
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
The insulin comes from beta cells in the liver.
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
How is the DNA formed from the insulin gene?
Respuesta
-
mRNA is extracted and incubated via reverse transcriptase which makes DNA using RNA.
-
It is completed by conjuration of bacteria formed in fermenters.
